One day after what appeared to be a coordinated attack by media giants Facebook, Apple, Spotify and Google on Alex Jones, whose various social media accounts were banned or suspended in a matter of hours, the crackdown against alternative media figures continued as several Libertarian figures, including the Ron Paul Institute director, found their Twitter accounts suspended.
just after controversial conservative Alex Jones, and his podcast InfoWars, were kicked out from most social media platforms, prompting conservative to accuse the social networks of collusion in a collective crackdown on non-mainstream voices. The Silicon Valley giants were criticized by the US political establishment for failing to prevent alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Meanwhile, critics now say the pressured media giants are engaging in political censorship, using their market dominance and lack of legislated neutrality requirements to target descent voices ahead of the midterm elections.

Sir,
The plans are already in place.

(NaturalNews) A Seattle architect named Katrina Spade has proposed a new solution for urban food production: convert the recently deceased into nutritious compost to feed the food crops.
The project is called the Urban Death Project, and it describes the process of turning dead humans into food as follows:

Desperate times, people do desperate things. I'm wondering what FARC is up to with all this.
This from 2005.

Honduran Security Minister Oscar Alvarez said late March 28 that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) militant group is involved in a plot to assassinate President Ricardo Maduro. He also said the government has received uncorroborated information that the FARC has "several fronts charged with destabilizing countries" in South America and that the Maduro government is investigating whether similar FARC activities are taking place in Honduras.

Maduro is blaming Columbia.
Addressing the nation after the attack, Maduro said he saw a “flying device” explode in front of him during his speech. The president also announced that authorities have captured some people responsible for the drone attack, whom he called “material authors,” according to AP.
The president blamed the alleged assassination attempt on Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and those on the far-right of Colombia and Venezuela’s political spectrums, according to Al Jazeera’s translation of Maduro’s speech.
Maduro also claimed that a preliminary investigation shows that the people behind the attack lived in Florida, and called on President Donald Trump for help in prosecuting them.

Wait for it...
The American Socialist will "reform" this plan because this one failed because (insert excuse)...
Needs more time.
Needs more participants...
Needs more money...
Stockton,CA is toying with it.

Let's end that too.
People ask me "What about corporate welfare"? I say, yep, end that too. Agriculture subsidies etc..
In fact, I think we ought to have a flat tax rate in accordance to what people want corporate taxes to be. Tax corporations 35%? ok, that then becomes the flat tax rate. People and business want low taxes, they just want them for themselves and make the other guy pay.

Interesting that this article is illustrated with a photo of the Packard factory as an example of Detroit blight.
Studebaker-Packard's demise had much more to do with Charlie Wilson and the MIC being unable to imagine what could be good for GM and bad for the country (though S-P's demise certainly fits the description). I can't imagine how anyone who is any color other than Charlie Wilson could be blamed.
I would also add that Detroit's corrupt politicians and possibly unions are another huge contributor.

Project 100%, a program launched in 1997 and currently managed by the San Diego County’s Health and Human Services Agency, employs investigators to go into the homes of potential welfare recipients in order to further verify eligibility for government aid.
In 2006, the Ninth Circuit upheld the constitutionality of Project 100% and ruled that the home search was not in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects a person’s right to refuse. Halpern was taken aback: “It’s shocking, I think, for anyone of us who has been raised to think that there are certain minimum thresholds of decency that the Constitution protects … I don’t know how they could parse it out and find a different result.”
In a statement to Yahoo News, Project 100% stated that the program “finds fraud in, on average, 6% of applications. The employees assigned to this program also frequently connect applicants to other nonprofit and government programs, as well as potential job opportunities, to help them break the cycle of poverty.”
Meeting minutes of a San Diego County district attorney roundtable on Feb. 8, 1997, detail the workers of the public assistance fraud unit complaining about the low number of fraud referrals. As a result, supervising district attorney investigator Frank Reid proposed home searches as part of the requirements for welfare. The idea was well-received, and Project 100% began operations that year.

I would agree with him 100% on this point. After, the 2008 meltdown the American Dream shattered. Homeowner and big business were bailed out. "To big to fail" was the battle cry. I remember Obama talking about bailouts for homeowners, banks, and big business. What if you don't own a home?, aren't a bank? or just a small business? What if your a working stiff trying to make it paycheck to paycheck? Where was the help for those folks?

Sheldon Silver, the former speaker of the State Assembly who rose to become one of New York’s most powerful politicians, was sentenced to seven years in prison on Friday for his conviction on federal corruption charges.
Mr. Silver, a Democrat from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, had served as speaker for more than two decades, and influenced nearly every major aspect of state politics. He was convicted in May after an earlier conviction, in 2015, was overturned on appeal.
“This crime was driven by unmitigated greed,” the judge, Valerie E. Caproni of Federal District Court in Manhattan, said before she announced the sentence, referring to one of Mr. Silver’s two corrupt schemes.
“The bottom line is that Silver wanted to seem to be a man of the people while he was using his public position to richly line his own pockets,” she added.
